RIYADH: Gold jewelry in its various forms remains one of the most popular gifts for Eid Al-Fitr, offered by many residents of Eastern Region to their families.
The gesture reflects appreciation for efforts made during the holy month of Ramadan, from preparing iftar and suhoor meals to organizing the home and fostering a spiritual atmosphere.
Goldsmith Abdulmonem Ali Al-Saghah said gold jewelry had added value, combining adornment with financial security. It can be worn at family gatherings and weddings while also retaining resale value.
He said many families in Eastern Region have practiced goldsmithing for generations, with the profession often passed down from parent to child. This tradition helps preserve family heritage while providing reliable financial returns.
Al-Saghah added that Saudi Arabia is considered one of the leading countries in the gold industry, with jewelry typically classified according to karat, craftsmanship and design.
Gold is widely regarded as a safe long-term asset, prompting many to buy it not only as an adornment but also as a form of saving for future financial security.
